Chapter 081: The Disappearance of the Girl
Yu Shao, Steward Chen, and those little servants, were soon escorted away by more than a dozen city guard soldiers.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone around, Qin Yu slowly walked towards the middle-aged hunter who had persuaded him before: "Go back and report to the Xia City Lord, let him appoint you a military position, so that you don't have to enter the Mangshan Mountain Range and risk your life to hunt." ”
The middle-aged hunter, like Xia Guang, didn't make any mental preparations at all, and was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he didn't know how to thank Qin Yu for his great kindness.
Such hunters, which are common in every city, have to enter the Demon Beast Mountains in order to survive, and wander on the edge of life and death all day long.
These people even dream of having a decent official job, after all, who wants to fight monsters with their lives all day long?
Wow!~
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar for a while, many people felt envious, jealous, and hated for the opportunity of Xia Guang and this middle-aged hunter, why didn't they show favor to this eldest young master of the Qin family before.
More people are precipitated in the shock of Qin Yu's identity, believing that the news that Qin Yu is not dead will soon spread out in the Northern Regions.
In this uproar, Qin Yu left the stable of this tavern with a light drink of the black-scaled horse.
It was only at this moment that Xia Guang stood up suddenly, he seemed to remember something important, and hurriedly chased him out: "Major General, please, please wait." ”
Qin Yu stopped and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"Major General, I... I don't have the power to control the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Xia Guang said hesitantly: "Moreover, and I also know a big secret of City Lord Yu." ”
Seeing Xia Guang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Qin Yu frowned slightly
Xia Guang trembled and said carefully: "I don't know if you came to Yunxi City alone, or did you secretly have a fierce tiger to protect you?"
Qin Yu said impatiently: "What's the matter, just say it, don't swallow it." ”
"Major General, I won't hide it from you, in the past few years since Yu Shijun took over Yunxi City, he has raised a lot of private soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion, and in terms of number and strength, they have surpassed our city guards......"
Xia Guang took a deep breath and said, "If the major general is alone, please also ask the major general to immediately mobilize troops and horses, I am afraid that if I force the Yu Shijun, he will turn against you, the young general." ”
Qin Yu asked, "How many private soldiers does the Yu family have, and are there any martial artists in the Pulse Realm?"
"There are about five hundred people, and there are no martial artists in the Chongmai Realm, and the highest cultivation is Yu Shijun, and the Qi Gathering Realm is ninefold. ”
Xia Guang continued: "There are only three hundred soldiers stationed in our Yunxi City, divided into three hundred-person squads to patrol and guard the city gate in turn, I am the commander of the first squad, and I have cultivated to the eightfold Qi Gathering Realm, and the strength of the other two squads is about the same as the first squad. ”
"I see. ”
Qin Yu nodded and said, "Go and gather all the horses, and I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion with you." ”
"But ......"
Relying on these people to deal with the Yu family, Xia Guang really didn't have anything in his heart, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Yu: "There is nothing to do, immediately execute the order." ”
Xia Guang didn't say anything more, said something to a few of his subordinates around him, and walked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in Yunxi City with Qin Yu.
Raising private soldiers is just a normal phenomenon for the slightly more powerful families in the Cangyan Kingdom.
It's just that to Qin Yu's surprise, the Yu family actually raised more than 500 private soldiers in the third-level small city of Yunxi City, and from Xia Guang's mouth, he also learned that the Yu family's private soldiers were better equipped than these city guards of the Zhenbei Army.
A small Yunxi City was able to raise the private soldiers of his Yu family so fat, and he didn't know how much tax was deducted and how much money he embezzled.
Thinking about his Qin family's thousand fierce tiger guards, relying on the normal income of the Qin family alone, he can only barely afford it, and most of them rely on the support of the Heavenly Alliance Chamber of Commerce and other families.
Tianfeng City is a fifth-level city two prefecture-level cities higher than Yunxi City.
It can be imagined how black-hearted Yu Shihai is.
At present, the Qin family alone controls the Northern Regions, and the taxes collected are naturally into the Qin family's treasury.
Yu Shihai is so corrupt, not to mention the gray income he takes, and the taxes deducted are all money belonging to the Qin family!
"Major General, I don't know if you have heard that a large number of unmarried girls have disappeared in Yunxi City recently?"
After being silent for a long time, Xia Guang finally couldn't help but tell the secret he knew about the Yu family.
Qin Yu nodded, he had heard about this when he had just come to Yunxi City.
In Yunxi City, nearly 800 unmarried girls went missing in about a month.
When he heard the news just now, Qin Yu quickly thought of the group of rogues in Weihu Mountain, wasn't that group of rogues going around in that small mountain range to kidnap unmarried women?
Perhaps, the perpetrators of the disappearance of the girl in Weihu Mountain and Yunxi City are people from the same force, and there is a huge black hand behind him~ controlling everything.
What Qin Yu couldn't understand was why this force hidden in the shadows wanted to go around and rob these unmarried women.
Without waiting for Qin Yu to think about it, Xia Guang said softly: "The disappearance of the girl in Yunxi City was done by the people of the Yu family. ”
"Oh?"
Qin Yu felt that this matter was not simple, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Xia Guang saw Qin Yu's solemn expression, and then said: "Although I don't have any evidence, I can be sure that it was his Yu family who did it, the day before yesterday and yesterday, in the dead of night for two consecutive nights, the Yu family always had a carriage dragging a large number of black sacks out of the city, and the car was filled with unmarried women who had disappeared in Yunxi City during these days." ”
When Xia Guang said this, Qin Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately said: "Give up the original plan to storm the City Lord's Mansion, and you can't startle the snake." ”
Qin Yu wanted to find out the black hand forces hidden behind it, if he forcibly controlled the Yu family of the City Lord's Mansion now, he would definitely make the forces that robbed the unmarried girl behind him notice.
He can use this thread of the Yu family to find out the hidden black hand behind it.
For some reason, Qin Yu had an intuition that this matter was not as simple as the disappearance of a simple girl, the group behind it that was captive and plundering girls everywhere in the Cangyan Kingdom~ might also have an inextricable relationship with the Cangyan royal family.
Xia Guang asked, "Then the young general, what should we do now?"
"Gather people and horses to ambush outside the city, and let people keep an eye on the movements of the city lord's mansion, and we will do it when the matter is clarified. ”
Qin Yu thought for a moment and added, "Let those who can be trusted immediately inform the Zhenbei army stationed around Yunxi City." ”
Xia Guang immediately said: "It is said that Commander Qin Hu is arresting the Crazy Sword Alliance in the territory of Yunxi City, and I will immediately send someone to contact Commander Qin Lie." ”
"Go ahead and arrange it, you will stay outside the City Lord's Mansion with me tonight. ”
After the two discussed, Xia Guang whispered a few more orders to several cronies, and the cronies immediately gave a military salute and left the team in a hurry.
